12:18 pm
the phone number. so there's just one step missing to turn this into a co pay that it's not yet been fried. that means it's still in your kind of, uh, can you throw it into a platinum and eat it up and remove the water and all the impurities. when i went back and put it 2 years ago and this was worth 2000000, 750000 pesos. y'all about $640.00 euro and now it's worth nothing because nobody buys it anymore. it is like you, i live in my home. busy so there are about 122130000 plants here and see until the 9th, i mean, we used them to make 30 or 40 kilos of coke and paste that. i have one inside that's about 75 to 80000000 pesos us around 17218000 euro since i'm una, best when i order. but now i'm in danger of losing everything. i'm in a bit of info because nobody's buying coca paste right now. i can plan to buy harvest in store at all, but nobody buys it. i thought i was a bit of a 90 minute confident type of stuff, but again,
12:19 pm
you broke into i think this is the biggest crisis called the farmers and cut it to them. they'll have that for face to come in and it doesn't just affect the cost of tune, but in north sonton dere, but other parts of the country as well because it's been dealt with. but i'm thinking that advice me number. my name is joe 100, nissan 110, and i'm 17 years old. no single. but i've been working here for about 2 years. but can you afford that? i went to school in venezuela. i couldn't take but because of the economic crisis, i had to come here to work that, that i had back then i lived with my grandparents and you know, with that just in person and my grandmother was getting more and more sick. the main thing my grandfather had an injured arm, but i think that's why my grandmother said i should come work here. okay, best. and then be applied to find you are not as funds to help them out. i sometimes send the money i may harvesting cool guy strictly illegal. i want to think that sometimes government soldiers come to a coca farm and destroy the coca plants turning point. and if you're working there,
12:20 pm
you get arrested. if they can even burn down the lab and destroy everything, you know they're going for you, john. john the 230. how much do you have you know? 31 kilogram. but i don't know the we used to have lots of money and little co pay them. we now have lots of space, but no money left. the many people here work with coke up because it's cultivation accounts for 70 percent of economic output stuff and everything here revolves around coca. the problem right now is selling it, which has
12:21 pm
a huge impact on trade. everything is affected and co manager and stuff like that. like anything else, the level. and here's what coca does. it's still plants that kills. armed groups are fighting for more land so that they can expand coca cultivation by a conflict. it's the reason behind all the conflict and to cut black if we were going costanza plantations, and other things on these lands, nobody would be fighting over it. and then we the entire population, are the ones caught in the middle, the number that the consumer? my name is claudia. patricia, mine is a go rios, i'm working to help victims of sexual violence. maybe it is the it's difficult to be a woman in this area and whatnot. some of us have enjoyed horrible things. just have to see how different this and you've got in my case,
12:22 pm
it was sexual violence because something and everything was going and then we live in constant fear in me as but as the up lives on my personal experience is difficult because it seems that you can't fathom how someone would think of using your body as a spoil of war, wins or had a oh script book where i fault with all my mind, but i couldn't come up and they do it. when you haven't gotten to your head, it's very difficult to as easy to set up both mrs. work is there and is it also because my daughter was there in your business and i thought, what else can i do the tenant and then i had no strength left in this for the and then after i had fought for as long as i could for me, they hit me in the face with one of the weapons they had with them go,
12:23 pm
i passed out and then regained consciousness. i was gone and came back. you're really near. like, i remember it. well, it'll love it. but these are memories. i would like to erase the consumers this experience destroyed me emotionally, sexually personally. and i mean, i wish we didn't have co kind of regions. they're getting rid of. okay. because if there was no coca, or we wouldn't have to live with all these dangers all the time in the confrontations give you a sense, we wouldn't live in fear unless something more of the
12:24 pm
i need to tell you something in the winter. i've checked our finances and the situation is tough, right? to the right number you printer like working like hardly have any work the anthem and that effects wage payment to you. but i think i meant that on the one hand to there's no more work. so we can no longer harvest coke on the farm for the month they use see, because we just have yeah. and on the other day my we have to talk about my debt to you. remember the wages i still owe you for the last few weeks? yeah, so make when to, when i've already done the math and i think i'll have to pay you with a few grams of coca paste. i don't know, but i'm with him because as you know, the past couple of people, there's no cash right now. deal with this. me see no, you must talk or what i need to see if there is no more work because things are so hard. i don't want co pay still don't ever see. i'd rather wait until you can sell
12:25 pm
capacity. what we're really interested are you gave tape and then you, i guess a deal and when you have cash to pay me to me, let me know what and i'll come back then to collect the money you'll you'll ingle. oh god bless you. tell me when there's money or work, i type and i'll come back. if i get all of your windows the, if this is going to be my house is that this will be my little house. and i there are 2 rooms here. one on the right is the bathrooms will buy new now, but the other room is the living room, dining room and kitchen satellite gomez or e like coffee network i when i that's impressive. one room i'll make available to victims who need
12:26 pm
a place to stay. thing and some of the sales and what we can do here in this big dining room. so it's have conversations eloquently or back up, but i'm about to tell them that we can talk about topics like empowerment them or so we can feel better use. i've had it before, which is that just how it is a start. nice. it's a rebirth for me and my own here in process. i mean thank you. if i could only manage to finish building this house for a fact, like when we get in, there are not that many women in this area, or if one way or another, i'll help them heal their wounds is if i could do that for myself, if were bit by bit, then i can do that for them to the just the most with level. what we've paid is the price not it's this piece. you know, sometimes i wish the government was a bit more humane. mazda line would help us more, you know, something that i'm,
12:27 pm
we often feel of band and, and alone. and sometimes we get tired of it, which is the thing, is that the most of the lives a furnace. do you think we have no choice but to carry on it? right. yeah, mean bundles. i'm a little ways with the hope that maybe one day last piece on that. but i must consider when we all up on the job because of this crisis of not being able to sell, co pays does drag down so long. it will become impossible for us to make a living from coca conservation lot, but it's selling palm oil. could be a good business, the big kid will color one. it requires only a small investment. that means it's also easier to cultivate. that bottom home is
12:28 pm
cut every 4 to 6 months and it's harvested by the science even. what i know, you don't need to be a slave to cultivation, like you do with coca. i think that that would be the new danger. i see as a farmer is that palm cultivation will lead to the development of a mano culture condensed, and i fear it will spread too much and degrade the soil as a result. and these are the many farmers have switched from cocoa to palm oil production, but 5 wins by armed groups, continues the gym and also make his up and hoping to becomes a market lead is for even been a c one day. but the dream seems to be citing with cheap
